WOULD HAVE FOUGHT IF NECESSARY.
A special from Sarnia, Ont, says: "Mc-
Garigle was secluded all the morning. He
was met on his arrival by party with car
,;,,r,s ono Of tIa Marty bnintr Patrick Mo
loney, of Chicago. Everything had evil
IDENTIFY been arranged for McGarigles re-
ception, and one of the party remarked
that the entire plan of rescue was outlined
before the escape was attempted. Had any
attempt been made to seize McGaligle a
desperate fight, one of the schooner Marsh's
crew saws. would have been the result. The
reported effort TO disguise the schooner
Bake is explained differently by the sailors.
They say red blankets were hung over the
schcOner's sides to prevent Identification.
McGarigle's wife and child are expected in
SaInia tonight
THE FLIGHT IN THE YAwL.
A late dispatch from Port Huron, Mich,
gives another account of McGarigle's land
ing in Canada 1t appears that when the
tug Orient approached the schooner Blake,
which was the last in tow of four vessels
the schooner Marsh ahead, dropped her tow
line, and the Blake dropped rap
idly as her captain rushed forward
together with his crew and raised tre-
mendous row for couple of minutes, keep
Ing the attention of those on board the tug.
Meanwhile McGarigle, who had been trans
feITed to the Marsh in the strait, as reported
some days ago, was bundled into a yawl
and being sculled ashore When the officers
on the tug discovered the ruse, every
effort was made to catch the
nNRl but into Cnn
water safely before they could reach it,
McGarigle jumped ashore and ran rapidly
up the streets, while the crews OF the
SchoOners jeeled at the men on the tug. A
reporter for Chicago paper then went
aloard the Marsh and Blake III turn and in
terviewed both captains. They did not talk
freely, but what they said indicated clearly
that both vessels were active in the scheme
t. get McGaiigle to Canada, and also that
Dr. St John and Janitor Dell knew more
about McGarigle's escape than anybody else
In Chicago.
